A small-sized, upright format oil painting with a dark gray, blurred background from which a half-length female figure rises, holding a swaddled infant in her lap. The composition is strongly central, with the mother-child block arranged in a triangle, emphasized by the white of the headscarf and the deep red of the skirt. The painter builds the forms with pasty, short, 'broken' brushstrokes; the skin tones consist of a mixture of ochre-red-brown, with cold bluish-gray reflections appearing on the folds of the clothing. The light falls from the upper right, creating a strong contrast between the white scarf and the dark background. The child's white swaddling, enlivened with blue spots, is made with thick impasto. Iconography: motherhood/'folk Madonna' genre. In the lower right corner, a stylized 'BJ' monogram can be seen. The headscarf, shoulder scarf, and red skirt reference folk costumes, suggesting a dating around the 1930s-50s. Overall, it has a characteristic of the Alföld school, with a naturalistic-impressionistic tone.
